Equipment Needed

• Sharp knife
• Large mixing bowl
• Measuring spoons

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes (about 800g), washed and unpeeled
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• Optional: ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper for heat

Optional Paleo-Friendly Dipping Sauce

• ½ cup paleo mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried herbs (rosemary or thyme)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut sweet potatoes lengthwise into quarters, then cut each quarter into 2-3 wedges, ensuring they’re roughly the same size for even cooking.
3. Place wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with all seasonings.
4. Toss well to ensure even coating of oil and spices.
5. Arrange wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
7. For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Tips & Notes

• Soak cut wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking for extra crispiness
• Pat wedges completely dry before seasoning
• Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet
• Cut wedges uniformly for even cooking
• Best served immediately while hot and crispy
